The catholic churches depiction of Jesus that has been used in the last couple of centuries is fraudulant. He was born in what is now referred to as the middle east, so he would have to be darker skinned, not white like the europe-based catholic church has taught us. Because of this depiction, groups like the KKK use religion to say that Jesus was white so in God's eyes "white is right". In reality, Jesus most likely looked like a "terrorist" as some redneck might call a middle eastern person of darker skin. The only reason I say "terrorist" is because since 9/11, anyone who is middle eastern must be a muslim to many racist people who do not think that a person of middle eastern descent can be christian or jewish. I'm not saying that any religion is right or wrong, just that church based their depiction of Jesus on the likeness of most people in europe at the time. In my opinion, Jesus was a real person who has been misrepresented by the catholic church and I say catholic because the oldest images were painted before 1512 when Martin Luther created the first protestant christian sect. So it is nothing against modern day catholics. Just because I said Jesus was a real person, it doesn't mean that I do not believe Mohammad was real. They are just different messiahs or prophets in two religions that are rooted in judaism.
